+
+Mac OS X permissions
+--------------------
+
+If you're using Mac OS X, you may see the message "permission denied" when
+you try to run ``django-admin.py``. This is because, on Unix-based systems like
+OS X, a file must be marked as "executable" before it can be run as a program.
+To do this, open Terminal.app and navigate (using the ``cd`` command) to the
+directory where :doc:`django-admin.py </ref/django-admin>` is installed, then
+run the command ``sudo chmod +x django-admin.py``.
+
+Running virtualenv on Windows
+-----------------------------
+
+If you used virtualenv_ to :ref:`install Django <installing-official-release>`
+on Windows, you may get an ``ImportError`` when you try to run
+``django-admin.py``. This is because Windows does not run the
+Python interpreter from your virtual environment unless you invoke it
+directly. Instead, prefix all commands that use .py files with ``python`` and
+use the full path to the file, like so:
+``python C:\pythonXY\Scripts\django-admin.py``.
